Death (means a “separation”)

Eternal Death

It is eternal destruction:

2 Timothy 1:7-10

7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 

9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 

10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
The Death of Christ

He tasted death that He might destroy Satan, who had the power of death:

Hebrews 2:14-15 

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 

15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

He tasted death in the place of every man:

Hebrews 2:9 

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

He abolished death and brought life and immortality to light:

2 Timothy 1:10 

but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

He overcame death in His Resurrection:

Revelation 6:9 

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

Revelation 1:18 

I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
